Overview of Workflow Monitoring

Once a workflow has been initiated for a work item, it may be necessary to check on its status to ensure that it is progressing forward, or to identify the activity currently being executed for the work item. Oracle Workflow provides a Java-based Workflow Monitor tool, and a view called WF_ITEM_ACTIVITY_STATUSES_V to access status information regarding for an instance of a workflow process.

Note: If you are using the version of Oracle Workflow embedded in Oracle Applications and you have implemented Oracle Applications Manager, you can use Oracle Workflow Manager as an additional administration tool to review and manage work items. For more information, please refer to the Oracle Applications Manager online help.

Also, if you are using the standalone version of Oracle Workflow, you can use the standalone Oracle Workflow Manager component available through Oracle Enterprise Manager as an additional administration tool to review and manage work items. For more information, please refer to the Oracle Workflow Manager online help.

Note: For information about the Status Monitor in the Oracle Applications Framework user interface format, currently available with the version of Oracle Workflow embedded in Oracle Applications, see: Accessing the Administrator Monitor and Accessing the Self-Service Monitor, Oracle Workflow User's Guide.
